This is not a step-by-step technique
book--rather, the stylized dresses are simplified, modernized, and
reduced to the most basic elements, showing you how simple abstract
shapes and forms meld to create the building blocks of any item that you

interesting approach to drawing a single item, providing loads of
inspiration for your own drawing. Presented in the author’s uniquely
creative style, this engaging and motivational practice book provides a
new take on the world of sketching, doodling, and designing.
